      Hello!

      I'm using "russian vpn" scheme to connect with ISP - WAN interface with DHCP (actually internal ISP network) + L2TP interface to ISP server (as real WAN). If i'm using FQDN as L2TP server name - it couldn't be resolved during boot up, so i have start this interface manually. Even if i put static DNS entry for this server name to DNS resolver - it's still couldn't be resolver during boot. If i use ip as server address - everything is ok and L2TP interface going up automatically during boot.

      Could someone fix this problem, because ISP balancing load between L2tp servers and returns different ip for same FQDN..

            Could you test this patch? 290.diff
            it works fine for me (pfSense 2.6 and pfSense 2.5.1)

            see https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/system-patches.html
